List of Best Rated TV Series as voted by the Fediverse
The Venture Bros. Adult Swim cancels their best show for what? More Rick and Morty. That's just sad.
Altered Carbon. Season one was top-notch, season two brought all the nails to shut that coffin.
Carnivàle had so much potential :-(
There's an outline floating around online of what they had planned for the next 3 seasons
The OA. That was the cancellation that really turned me off Netflix and streaming more broadly, and changed my viewing habits.
The Expanse. The last books are my favorite in the series. Still hoping they finish…
I think it was a naturally stopping point. Maybe they can restart it with the same cast in… 20 years?
That is really my hope. The story picks up many years later so once the actors look 5 years older and have some grey hairs then I want them to film the next set of books.
Probably my answer, but it's a shame Alex (the actor) was an ass and had to get canned. Not that he was my favorite character, but it felt a bit off without him.
Still hoping they finish…
Ditto. I still haven't read the books, but as I understand it, the biggest "hook" for me in the show is in those last three yet to be adapted.
Limitless.
It really pisses me off because one of the cited reasons was the fan response, and the fan response was that "it's too unrealistic."
Oh you think?! The show about a magic pill that makes you super smart isn't realistic? Fuck off! Let us have some fantasy, FFS.
Pushing Daisies... but it might be coming back? 16 years after being cancelled?
Really?
That show was great. I just rewatched it a couple months ago :)
If you believe everything you read on the internet:

King of the Hill was cancelled to make room for The Cleveland Show. That should pretty much say everything.
King of the Hill was rebooted a few months ago. Horrible though that the voice actor for John Redcorn was murdered outside his house for being gay
Mythbusters. I know it had been on for a long time, but it was my go to the entire time. I was ready for it to go, and I haven't found a show that I liked as much as it.
Metalocalypse is up there too!
In recent memory, I’d say Raised By Wolves. It was flawed but interesting. It also had an interesting companion comic book. Would love to see some streamer pick the series back up, or maybe some nice graphic novels based on the story.
Similarly, Lodge 42 and Moonhaven.
Absolutely, RBW was fascinating and different and stunning. We were absolutely gutted when it was cancelled.
Has to be Mind Hunter.
I still can't believe there were only two seasons, this show was outstanding
The Peripheral. Cancelled due to the writer strikes. Excellent sci-fi show. Would have loved an extra season.
The show "Warrior" from 2019. HBO fumbled big on that one and unfortunately Netflix isn't going to make a fourth season.
Terra Nova... Would have loved to have more dinosaurs
To bad they thought people were more intersted in family drama then friggin dinosaurs.
After a recent rewatch, I would have to put forward Better Off Ted as top of my list of worst cancellations. Truly underrated when it ran, the writing was witty and sharp, aligning with the humour of Scrubs and Community.
Speaking of, re-watching Community slowly peter-out over the seasons (despite my excitement for the movie!), does preclude me from putting it at the top of the list.
Lastly, for my wasted potential award, I would say Westworld was cancelled just as it sat on the edge of redemption. Season one was a masterpiece, while season two felt like a big retread. Seasons 3&4 were controversial due to the drastic shift in setting to the real (future) world, however the ending of S4 leading back into the Wild West setting was so promising!

I have words on that,
/agree is the short answer. Long answer is too long for this moment. Just, slash agree. It was a planned five seasons and we ended on a low point four season in because we dirty fuckin' humans deserve to end on a low point. But. ...
I was onboard with season 3 and was ok with 4 until they did Maeve so damn dirty. After that I said "fuck this show".
freaks and geeks. never got a chance and had an all star cast
Same with its spiritual predecessor, “My So Called Life”.
Reaper, absolutely loved that show and they had the audacity to end on a cliffhanger. Same for My Name is Earl
Plenty in reality, but for this thread I will say "Into the Badlands". It was a fun and gorgeous show with good action scenes.
That was a weirdly fun one. Didn't really like the kid but loved the protagonist and, er, I think her name is Emily Beecham. They had a few interesting antagonists in there, IIRC. Probably rewatch that one one day.
Carnivale.
It was one of the best shows ever made, and they cancelled it on one of the biggest cliffhangers in television history.
There's a treatment floating around online of what the writers had planned for the next 3 seasons
I know I am probably in a small majority, but Hailey's On It!
I watched it every day with my daughter. I genuinely believe/d that it had scooby-doo level cult following potential. Cancelled AND deleted from disney.
Only one I can think of right now was Constantine. I actually loved that show.
I really liked Whiakey Cavalier. Also Next was pretty sad, got cancelled because covid
they cancelled castle like a month after i started watching it
At least theres a bunch of episodes. Its a shame Stana and Nathan had issues as it really hurts the last couple of seasons.
American vandal. Both seasons were excellent and very different. I enjoyed the next thing the creators made (players), but I really wish it was high school true crime.
